Does anyone out there have any help or do you just not use this wax at all for some reason? Just wondering...

Well, I started testing this wax out and love it so far. The first batch of votives came out beautiful. Minimal frosting on the sides, no cracks at all, and smooth creamy tops, absolutely wonderful! Oh and we used JS Candied Blueberries scent which throws great cold, and Z-44-24-18 wicking with blue liquid dye. Heated wax to 160, poured at 125. Anyway, I waited 24 hours, maybe a little longer and decided to test one out. Had a great hot throw, good melt pool, wick lit and burned nicely. After about 30-45 minutes, the whole middle of the candle had melted straight to the bottom and I don't understand why. The only theories I have at this point are that either the zinc core wick got too hot throughout the votive and turned the center of the candle liquid, or I didn't give the candle enough time to cure. If anyone has had this problem before, could you let me know what to do? Even if you have a theory as to what went wrong I'd like to hear from you, thanks all!

I like the fact that on her yahoo profile her picture was pulled as of today. The heat is on!

We ordered our wax from soycandle.com, great company to work with and the wax (474) is working out far better than I imagined for our votive line. I can't say enough good things about both soycandle and Golden Brands!

Thanks for all the info guys and gals, probably going to order from Olivebranch!

And I mean the real stuff. LOL! I've been after it for a while now, but can't seem to find anywhere that has it for sale. Someone please help!

Yeah, we are still testing our candles out, didn't want to put up anything we aren't 110% confident in selling. We will have them up this weekend. Other than that, we are also a bath and body shop, and do have a lot of great products up right now, with more coming soon. New pictures, well, better pictures will be up tomorrow as well. Thanks to all for checking us out, and please enter our contest and sign up for our newsletter!

Well, I finally got it mostly finished, but we are open for business as of August 1st. Will still be working on it for most of the day, but all of the pages are completed, and I even added an information blog to the site.

I'm going to be offering a newsletter both through e-mail and a direct mailing every month. In fact, our first one will be coming out on Tuesday, so check out our website if you want to sign up! Other than that, we will be offering coupons, tips, and information about upcoming sales and new items, scents, stuff like that!

In keeping with what DatCandleMaker said, a logo also helps with product recognition. What comes to mind when you think of McDonalds, Toys R Us, or even Wendy's? Granted these are major corporations but they branded themselves with a logo that when people see it they instantly know what company it belongs to. That, and a catch phrase.

Great list, printing it out as we speak!

I like the one with the black stripe myself.

Wanted to bump this back up, just wondering what the concensus is on this.

I totally forgot about this website for recipes. Good thing it got bumped back up, have to bookmark it now!
